Dazed, confused, but chugging on.
Lupé sighed, running her paws up and down the paintings. "This is our victory against Meta. See the teamwork? Lucky could never have beat him alone." She paced up and down the hallway like a depressed tour guide. "This is when Rex and Lucky met, right before the plane landed. Look at the uncertainty on Lucky's face. He didn't know how to feel about people reacting to him positively. Because, if we go down here..." She led the Espeon to paintings depicting many of Lucky's rivals. "...he only ever knew how to make enemies." Lupé sighed, leaning against a column. "Maybe it's because I wasn't created until after he made some true friends, but I don't know why he thought it was something to be ashamed of." Her eyes hardened on a painting of Toffee looming over him. "Sure, he thought he gave them up to Toffee, but then it turned out he didn't...I think. But instead of realizing his mistake, and moving on..." Her tail waved over a painting of Lucky trying to put everyone else out of their misery before Toffee could. "He just warped it into evidence that he wasn't born to make friends. That's not true, is it...? You tell me. I'm just a second voice. The only parts of the world I know are the ones Lucky has experienced."
The silence was interrupted by an earthquake. "What the?!" She hurried after Julia, watching everything shut off. "I don't know what that was, but it looked like it snapped him out of it!" She grinned gratefully at the Espeon. "Thanks for your help. But next time, you can try smacking him for me. I don't mind. I don't feel it!" She listened closely to Julia's parting words, then just stood there after she left Lucky's consciousness, leaving her standing alone in the dark. "She's right, Lucky." Her voice echoed, heard by no one else. "There is so much more to you than vengeance. Please, everyone forgives you, and everyone wants you to be noble, not weak!" Her words fell on the ears of a rabbit who had simply reverted to what he was doing before.
If Lupé hadn't been so focused on Lucky's viewpoint, she would have seen that Mismakora had used her flight to save herself yet again. Weakened by her fall, and Dani's power, she simply slunk off into the mindscape, waiting for her next chance to seize power.

Meanwhile, in reality, Lucky was shaken back to reality by Natasha's terrible driving. "Christ, Lassie! Keep your paws at ten and two!" He kept trying to hop back into the driver's seat, to no avail. He nearly fell off as she figured out which one was the gas pedal, nearly bucking him off the buggy altogether. What did he see when he got up but a pair of bandits trying to hijack-or, in their case, reclaim-the vehicle. "Great! I can finally use this!" With Natasha taking out the other one, he bounded towards the remaining bandit, getting him square in the lung like his knife.
With the task of driving off his shoulders, Lucky took a moment to consider what his three voices had told him. While he heard Lupé and Julia, it was Mismakora he truly listened to. "There was never anything to me but vengeance." He shut his eyes tight, and pressed his nubs to either side of his head. "Slaughtering me enemies was the first thing I ever learned, Lassie-after learning to talk, of course. What you are seeing is years and years of hard self-training, paying off! Do you honestly think this is meaningless to me? This is practice for when I find the ones I TRULY despise. This is me rebuilding me reputation. I'm sure Lupé showed you where me memories are. Take a look at them again when this is over, I dare you! Then you will see what weakness truly is. For now...I lack the time to explain."
